GLOSS Expanding its HORIZON

GLOSS has become a very active club at SASTRA,but on the other hand I felt that my university's branch at Kumbakonam,had a very few exposure to the world of Open Source Technologies and Sun's Technologies.Our Dean has requested me to do a small application project in that campus,so I thought I will introduce them with Web Technologies-PHP and MySQL which could help them doing the application project.

I planned for the event on March 5(Thursday) at 11.30am.(Because i have some free hours on Thursday : P).The session was aimed at Pre-Final years as they will be mature enough to do the projects using these Technologies.

I started the session with the basics of Open Source,Open Source for Students and cited some real time examples(Inspired by Joe Hartley).

I started with basic components of Internet,and then moved on to basics of PHP and MySQL and then showed them a basic login page and then made a small page,attached it to a CSS(Cascading Style sheet using Netbeans 6.5) and then created a page which could take up their name,email-ids,Contact no.

The session went on really cool,where I was asked to show the differences between .NET and Netbeans and other perfomance statistics between PHP/MySQL and ASP.NET/MS SQL.

I have also made intiatives to start the small application project in SASTRA SRC(Srinivasa Ramanujam Centre) campus.I am immensely happy that GLOSS and SASTRA OSUM is expanding its horizon.
